The future of our running shoes?
The typical human foot is an anatomical marvel of evolution with 26 bones, 33 muscles and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.
That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, play, and for fun. Stimulating the muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception.

The shoes certainly looks strange to me. Could this just be another fad like the crocs? But apparently, the best shoes for us is our own bare feet. Certainly looks interesting! I'm not sure about buying them now, maybe when they start getting a little more popular. They are not the most aesthetically appealing pair of shoes. I can imagine stares darting at my feet. They remind me of webbed feet!
Yawn. Going for a run now.

Hi mkddy,
I just recently got a pair of the VFFs Sprint model in Melbourne. They cost more than in the US but there is a worldwide shortage and couldnt wait any longer so I popped by a shop in the CBD called Pinnacle Outdoor and they had one last pair in my size left so I bought it and ran! LOL!!!
You get the occassional weird look when you're wearing them but I actually really like the design, I like to be different so kinda explains a lot!
I've only done a short run in em and yes the VFFs do correct your running technique and you work muscles you normally don't when running in normal shoes...
to find out more go to birthdayshoes.com
I'm the one who sent in a story about changing tyres in my VFFs :)
